He will fish all Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour events using KastKing fishing reels. Crochet joins MLF Pro Brent Chapman on the team who was also on the KastKing Pro Team during the 2019 MLF season.

“After hearing about KastKing and seeing the growth KastKing was achieving I decided to buy a few of their fishing reels and try them out,” says Cliff Crochet. “While I was impressed with the price for the quality of the reels I was really impressed with the casting and how smooth the KastKing reels are. Since I’ve starting testing KastKing reels I’ve built a trust with them and they will be the reels I throw from now on.”

36 year-old “Cajun Baby” Cliff Crochet, who was previously a Louisiana sheriff, changed careers after qualifying for the B.A.S.S. Bassmaster Elite Series in 2010.

He then moved on to the Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour series.

“It’s my extreme pleasure to welcome Cliff “The Cajun Baby” Crochet to our KastKing team of professional anglers!” says Al Noraker KastKing VP of Business Development. “I’ve known Cliff for years and now to get to work closely with him as we continue to develop new tools for both professional and recreational anglers, is a dream come true. Cliff brings a solid track record of success from his years on the Elite series and now on the BPT and MLF. He is an aggressive, power fisherman and his techniques are suited perfectly for KastKing reels. I join everyone at KastKing in welcoming him to his new home at KastKing and look forward to celebrating his future success!

“His competitive spirit and enthusiasm for the sport of professional bass fishing is contagious.”
